Description
"This is an invaluable reference to all the characters who appear in English Drama from 1500, when drama first appeared in print, to the Restoration of Charles II. The book indexes well over a thousand printed plays. In addition to characters' names, it indexes character types (Dwarf, Gypsy), nationalities (Frenchman, American), military ranks, psychological states (Jealousy, Melancholy), occupations and professions." "The accompanying Finding List is the only place where students and researchers can locate in one table parallel lists of play titles, authors, dates of publication, dates of performance, and short-title catalogue numbers."--BOOK JACKET.
